Blackout in East Timor

by: Stephen Marshall

Publication date: 1997

Topics: Guerrilla News Network, Channel Zero, East Timor

Publisher: Channel Zero/Psychedigital

Is this simply a matter of budgetary limitations or are corporate-owned media just protecting their own.

Featuring Danny Schechter (MediaChannel), Noam Chomsky (MIT), Michael Parenti (Empire), Francis Cairncross (The Economist), plus ETAN's Joao dos Santos Rolo and Abe Barreto Soares
